Figure 78. CI862 TRIO/Genius interface.
TRIO blocks, Figure 79, are self-contained, configurable I/O blocks used to
interface field devices to the CI862 communications bus. These blocks can be
individually installed on machines, in junction boxes, or grouped in racks or panels.
A TRIO block is made of cast aluminum, and weighs approximately 1.8 kgs
(4 pounds). It measures approximately 22.5 x 10 x 7.5 cm (9 x 4 x 3 inches). Each
block has its own communications capability and microprocessor, and provides
from 6 to 32 circuits for connecting input and output devices. You can place blocks
on the bus in any combination or sequence. You can use a mix of blocks on the same
bus. Various types of blocks are available as listed in Table 94.
